The Power of Boundaries (Nedra Tawwab)
b"\\u201cAs a therapist, I started to discover that when people need boundaries, they start to have issues around anxiety in their relationships, some depression, because they're not able to really stand up. Or they feel hopeless about improving certain scenarios. Burn out\\u2014when people start to say, \\u2018Oh my gosh, I hate work. I have to work on weekends. Oh, this person keeps talking to me about this thing.\\u2019 So burn out frustration. Sometimes moodiness, when we get really mad at other people for asking us stuff, that could be a sign that we need some boundaries around. You know, maybe saying no and not giving them the freedom to constantly use us as a resource. Our feelings are really huge indicators on where we need boundaries. When we're feeling upset, frustrated, anxious, confused, angry, those are all huge indicators that boundaries are very likely needed.\\u201d So says Nedra Glover Tawwab, sought-after relationship expert, licensed therapist and New York Times best-selling author of Set Boundaries, Find Peace: A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself.\\xa0\\nIn the book, Nedra puts her 15 years of experience demystifying the concept of boundaries to work, teaching us to get assertive in order to create healthy relationships with ourselves and our loved ones. She brings her no nonsense boundary-setting tips to the podcast today as our conversation explores signs we may need boundaries in our relationships, why people may not respect our boundaries and how to express our needs clearly, avoiding the all too common passive-aggressive spiral. She reminds us that it is ok to be less than perfect, to admit when we don\\u2019t have it all together, and to accept the help of others. Because when we establish healthy boundaries, give others grace, and accept grace ourselves we are bound to enjoy more successful, more rewarding relationships in all areas of our lives.\\xa0\\n\\nEPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:\\n\\nBoundaries - your owner\\u2019s manual\\u2026\\n\\nSigns that you may need boundaries\\u2026\\n\\nOur favorite form of communication\\u2026\\n\\nLeaving room for error\\u2026\\n\\n\\nMORE FROM NEDRA TAWWAB:\\nSet Boundaries, Find Peace: A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself\\nThe Set Boundaries Workbook: Practical Exercises for Understanding Your Needs and Setting Healthy Limits\\nFollow Nedra on Instagram and Twitter\\n \\nTo learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy\\n \\n Learn more about your ad choices.
